                                                          School of Electronic and Information Engineering
   With a history tracing back to 50 years ago, the School of Electronic and Information Engineering is one of the oldest faculties at ZUT. During the past five decades, by sticking to the university motto “Learned, Social Commitment and Self-discipline”, the school has made outstanding achievements in education, scientific research, and subject construction.
   By the end of 2010, the school has had 90 teaching and research staff, among which 12 are professors and 30 are associate professors. More than 26% of the faculties hold Ph.D. diploma, and most young teachers have master's degree.
The school has set up 5 undergraduate majors: Electronic and Information Engineering, Automation, Electrical Engineering and Automation, Measuring & Control Technology and Instrumentations, and Communication Engineering. The major Automation was awarded provincial characteristic specialty in 2007 and later national characteristic specialty in 2010. The major of Electrical Engineering and Automation was awarded provincial characteristic specialty in 2010.
   The school has two disciplines granting master’s degree: Control Theory and Control Engineering, Signal and Information Processing. It also owns two provincial key disciplines, in which Information and Communication System is a first-level one, Control Theory and Control Engineering a subordinate discipline.
   The school has powerful capability for scientific research. Currently, there are electrical engineering technology research center, automation institute and other research institutions.
In recent years, more than 500 academic papers have been published in various domestic and international academic journals, 30 of which have been selected for SCI, EI and ISTP.
   The school has undertaken 2 research projects supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, 2 by nation, more than 50 by ministries, obtained 9 national invention patents and more than 30 items of utility models. For ten years, the school has undertaken the research projects of China Helicopter Research Institute, Harbin Aviation Industry Group, and other national military defense industries. It has signed agreements on talents cultivation and cooperation with Xuji Group Co., Ltd and Zhengzhou Textile Machinery Co., Ltd. Every year, students will go to these enterprises to complete their manufacturing practice and graduation project.
   The school attaches great importance to the cultivation of students’ ability of innovation and engineering. Many prizes have been won in competitions such as National Electric Design, National Mathematic Modeling, and Challenge Cup.
